Signs Your Restaurant May Need Pest Control
Food environments are naturally attractive to rodents and insects, particularly around waste storage, delivery points and kitchen areas. Acting quickly protects your hygiene rating and prevents disruption to trade.
Look out for:
-
Droppings or gnaw marks in storage or kitchen areas
-
Cockroach sightings near warm appliances or drains
-
Increased fly activity around food prep zones or bins
-
Wasps gathering near outdoor seating or entrances
-
Unexplained contamination or damaged stock
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact us immediately for professional restaurant pest control in Ashford and Kent.
Our Restaurant Pest Control Services
Restaurants and commercial kitchens need pest control that is compliant, discreet and fast, with clear documentation to support hygiene standards. We tailor every visit to your layout, trading hours and risk areas, focusing on prevention as well as immediate treatment. Based in Ashford and covering all of Kent, we support food businesses with one off call outs and ongoing pest management contracts.

Restaurant Rodent Control
Rats and mice pose a serious risk to food safety and can quickly damage a restaurant’s reputation. We carry out detailed inspections, targeted treatments and proofing recommendations to remove active infestations and prevent re entry. Our approach is discreet, compliant and designed to support environmental health expectations.

Restaurant Wasp Control
Wasps can become a major issue during warmer months, especially around bin stores, delivery areas and outdoor dining spaces. We provide safe and efficient wasp nest treatments to remove immediate risk to staff and customers. All work is carried out with minimal disruption to service.

Commercial Kitchen Insect Control
Cockroaches, flies and stored product insects are among the most serious risks in food premises. We use safe, compliant treatment methods suited to commercial kitchens and food storage areas. Every visit includes clear documentation and practical prevention advice to maintain standards.

Drain and Hygiene Risk Assessments
Drains and waste systems are common access points for pests in restaurants. We assess potential entry routes and environmental factors that may contribute to recurring issues. By addressing these risks early, we help protect your hygiene rating and reduce future incidents.

Ongoing Restaurant Pest Management Contracts
Many food businesses require routine pest control to meet internal policies and environmental health requirements. Our structured contracts include scheduled inspections, documented findings and site specific recommendations. This proactive approach supports compliance and protects your brand.
